Israeli Comedy Series 'The Gimmick' Gets New Life with Feature Film

By ניב הדס
Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

The popular Israeli comedy series "The Gimmick" (Hebrew: "Pit HaNokhel"), which concluded its run six years ago, is making a comeback with a new feature film. The original series, which aired a decade ago, starred Yael Poliakov and Ilan Flad, who were given significant creative freedom. The film is expected to continue the show's unique brand of humor, which has been described as featuring 'five idiots who will always find a new and funny way to lose.' The article also touches on other unrelated topics, including a mention of the creators of 'South Park' changing their show's name to 'South America,' and a quote about sending children to war being 'our idol worship.' It also includes a personal reflection on arriving in Japan and a comment about an atmosphere of antagonism towards left-wing Tel Aviv residents.
